Van Hollen Pushing To Pass War Powers Resolution

Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen was on the Senate floor promoting passage of a war powers resolution he has co-sponsored. The resolution is a bipartisan effort to require President Trump to get the approval of Congress before taking any additional military action against Iran. Van Hollen took Secretary of State Marco Rubio to task for what he called twisted logic…

“He said we had to strike Iran first because Israel launched an attack on Iran. And here’s his twisted logic. Israel was going to strike Iran, and of course we knew nothing about that. But we knew that if Israel struck Iran, Iran would strike us so we had to strike Iran first. The deception is deep and it’s sickening.”
